Religion is like a penis.
It's fine to have one.
It's fine to be proud of it.
But don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.
And DO NOT try to shove it down my or my children's thoats.
Nice sentiment. Religion, and even Nationalism are both being forced down American throats turning off our allies in the world.
trumpty dumpty's "America First" is hateful and discriminatory.
@TheInterlooper Except when it turns to Jingoism. The doctrine of American Exceptionalism is jingoism.
had to google Jingoism.
@TheInterlooper American Exceptionalism seems to pass for civic nationalism in many of the arguments I've had on this site. "We can't do that here because this is America" to paraphrase.
@TheInterlooper Just watched the debating style of the bulk of US citizens with whom I've debated. I'll grant that JS Mill may not have recognised it, but it seems to be where the concept is at the moment.
